About this award

You can receive $3,500. As a grant, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a post-graduate student in Ontario who is passionate about the energy sector and wants to lead the industry into the future. You must apply by June 11, 2027. No notification timeline is posted publicly — when you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back from Ontario Energy Network and Bruce Power (through the Electro-Federation Canada scholarship program). Selection criteria aren't published — ask Ontario Energy Network and Bruce Power (through the Electro-Federation Canada scholarship program) how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds, though only 1 scholarship is available. Ask Ontario Energy Network and Bruce Power (through the Electro-Federation Canada scholarship program) during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Ontario Energy Network and Bruce Power (through the Electro-Federation Canada scholarship program) whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

• Community ServiceAvoid just listing the organizations where you volunteered. Instead, describe the specific impact your work had on the community. Write about one project where your effort led to a measurable result.
• RealismAvoid assuming this is a guaranteed fund since only 1 scholarship is available. Instead, treat this as a high-reach goal and continue applying for other post-graduate funding. Diversify your applications to ensure your tuition is covered.
